Le Penguin

Since 1985, 61 Lewis Street in Greenwich, Connecticut has been the domain of award winning French chef Jean-Louis Gerin. On June 9, 2013 the fabled location was transformed by new owners Antoine Blech and Anshu Vidyarthi into Le Penguin, a classic French Bistro - with a twist. Offering a new menu and new decor, Le Penguin promises to remain a key dining destination in Greenwich and the northeast United States.

The Owners
